Integrating a Gender Lens in Sustainable Investing

Published on:

Sustainable investing has experienced an impressive growth in recent years, reaching USD 30.7 trillion assets under management (AuM) in developed countries alone in 2018. Institutional investors with USD 103.4 trillion AuM are signatories of the Principles of Responsible Investing (PRI), committing to incorporate ESG issues into their investment processes, among other sustainability objectives. At the same time, only a fraction of this amount, USD 7.7 billion, has gone into gender lens investing, a growing segment of sustainable investing that focuses on advancing gender equality.
